I have a ghost diary

And now, they've actually started chasing after S-class vengeful spirits all over the world. That shows just how powerful and confident they are...

In short, official agencies in various countries began to find various excuses to appease the public while monitoring the latest developments in that large ghost domain and praying that the battle between Chu Jiang and that vengeful ghost would not affect the areas under their jurisdiction.

Ordinary ghost masters from various countries learned of this news a little later, and then they began to discuss it heatedly; in any case, before the danger befell them, most ghost masters still had the leisure to argue.

At the same time, they are also searching for any clues related to that ghost.

Soon, people discovered that this was not the first time this ghost had appeared, and that the research institute had previously rated it as A-level, but now it had actually risen to S-level.

What's most unusual is that this ghost and Chu Jiang are old enemies. It was this ghost that killed more than 99% of the people in Chu Jiang's high school, which led Chu Jiang to embark on the path of a ghost master and thus began his extraordinary career.

This information was first leaked from within China, but some people didn't believe it because, in their minds, Chu Jiang was clearly the heir of a certain ghost master family.

Regardless, the battle between Chu Jiang and Slender Man attracted a lot of attention.

......

Inside the Ghost Realm, Chu Jiang discovered that both sides' Ghost Realms had become slightly "transparent".

It's inappropriate to call it transparent; it's actually been forcibly magnified, like a dense fog spreading out, so much so that people outside the ghost realm can vaguely and indistinctly see the scenes inside.

At the same time, this ghost realm is also layered; people outside can only see the scene on the first layer; only those inside the first layer can vaguely see the scene on the second layer.

Generally speaking, as long as Chu Jiang and the Slender Ghost do not go to the first floor to fight, they will be fine for the time being even if they are enveloped by the Ghost Domain.

So why is the Ghost Realm getting bigger and bigger? Of course, it's because... the number of dead souls and vengeful ghosts inside is increasing, they're simply countless.

Now, N ghosts appeared before Chu Jiang, looking exactly as they had in life, and they were from various countries.

At first, Chu Jiang tried to destroy these things with black flames, but he found that the black flames could not touch these beings, as if the two were not in the same dimension.

Therefore, Chu Jiang concluded that the Ghost Realm was not just divided into two layers, but at least three.

Ordinary people are on the first level, he himself is on the second level, and the dead are on the third level; the three do not interfere with each other.

Then there is a crucial question: Where did Slender Man go?

Since it disappeared, even Chu Jiang has been unable to detect its existence; and as soon as it disappeared, countless dead people appeared one after another, but they were almost certainly not the souls of the original dead people.

According to what Jing Ruoxue and Chu Jiang said, the Great Master of Fate can call back the soul of the deceased within the first seven days after death; after seven days, it is no longer possible, as if those souls have permanently left this world.

Since even the legendary Chu ghosts of all ages were unable to summon the souls of the dead back after seven days, it would be even more impossible for the Slender Ghost, a ghost without the ability to control life and death, to do such a thing.

Therefore, Chu Jiang tends to believe that these countless dead people were actually transformed from the Giraffe!

Moreover, this change is extraordinary; it is not simply a matter of imitating the appearance of the deceased.

The reason Slender Man could teleport his ghost realm across the globe to places where the dead had lived was probably to collect special mediums, such as the aura left behind by the deceased.

Slender Man's plan seems to be progressing smoothly, but instead of attacking Chu Jiang directly, it has "isolated" itself, seemingly not wanting Chu Jiang to disturb it.

That's not all; the ghost realm is also jumping around the world and is awakening more and more dead...

This proves that Slender Man believes the current number of dead is not enough; he needs more, much more!

This intensified Chu Jiang's ominous premonition. While manipulating his [Moonlit Ghost Domain] to interfere with the Gauntlet's ghost domain, he took out his satellite phone and made a call to headquarters.

Generally speaking, Chu Jiang is unable to contact the outside world within Ghost Shadow's ghost domain; however, he now uses his own ghost domain to pry open the other party's ghost domain, allowing wireless signals to go out and come in.

And that's not all, isn't it just the layering of the Ghost Realm? Although Chu Jiang had never studied this technique before, Chu Zhan theoretically knew it, but Chu Jiang just hadn't had time to think about it in detail.

Not to mention that the Black Sun also knows this trick. Back then, Zhang Haoran couldn't even send a level zero sealed artifact to support Chu Jiang because of this damned layering.

If the Black Sun can do it, then Chu Jiang can too.

Therefore, Chu Jiang can be said to be multitasking. While on the phone, he also released the Sun Ghost Domain and used it to merge with the other party's Ghost Domain layers, trying to invade from the second layer to the third layer.

The call connected quickly, and Chu Jiang immediately had Chen Yuting transfer the call to Expert Chen.

"Hey? What's going on over there? We've been observing for a while now, and the ghost realm has moved to Antarctica! My god! Did a major paranormal event happen there too? I'm a bit confused by you two."

Chen Yehua thought he had figured out the pattern, but Antarctica... This continent has no permanent population, only a number of temporary scientific research personnel or whaling teams of less than 10,000. Theoretically, even if there were supernatural events, there would not be large-scale casualties.

Upon hearing this, Chu Jiang immediately looked out of the Ghost Realm and indeed found himself in a land of ice and snow.

He was just not in a bad mood right now, otherwise even he would probably be surprised.

"I've run into some trouble. Here's the gist of it. Can you help me figure out what this ghost is up to?"

While speaking rapidly, Chu Jiang successfully infiltrated the third level of the Ghostly Realm, only to discover that he still could not touch the dead.

This means that the dead are not on this level, but deeper.

Left with no other option, Chu Jiang could only invade deeper and deeper, layer by layer...

Around the time Chu Jiang reached the tenth level, he had said everything he needed to say, and when he wanted to get answers from the experts, he found that he could not go any deeper.

Because it was manageable to pry open a passage on the second floor, but now that they've gone deeper into the tenth floor, it's becoming increasingly difficult. Chu Jiang estimated that if they went a few more floors, the signal would be completely cut off.

In the command and operations room at headquarters, several experts quickly exchanged opinions.

About five minutes later, expert Chen gave his answer: "Things are getting complicated. We suspect that Slender Man may be about to invade the real world!"

Chu Jiang asked indifferently, "How did it invade? The Two Realms Bell is in my hands, or more precisely, inside a ghost within my body."

"But whether it's you or the ghost inside you, aren't you both in the ghost realm of the Slender Man?"

"After you demonstrated Chu Zhan's immense power, Slender Man realized that he couldn't defeat you in a short time, and might even be gradually suppressed and sealed by you. So he took a different approach and directly began his ultimate goal, which is to invade the real world."

"The function of the Bell of Two Realms is to allow those who have mistakenly entered the underworld to return to their original world of the living."

"Now, Slender Man is very likely trying to create a large number of [dummy] figures. He hopes to cause the Bell of the Two Realms to misjudge and open the passage between the two realms on its own."

"If this passage can really be opened, then if even one of the countless dead in the Ghost Realm enters the real world, then Slender Ghost's long-cherished wish will be fulfilled."

“At first we thought that Slender Man would only go to places where a large number of dead people had appeared; but now it seems that he just prioritizes going to these places because he can collect the aura of a lot of dead people at once.”

"After visiting all these locations where mass deaths occurred, it naturally won't be limited by numbers. Wherever people have died from supernatural forces, its ghost realm will appear..."

During their conversation, Chu Jiang discovered that the Ghost Realm had jumped again, this time to an unfamiliar location, seemingly a tropical rainforest.

However, one thing is undeniable: the ghost realm is growing larger and larger, covering an increasingly wider area, and the number of dead appearing within it is also increasing...

Chapter 451 The Dawn of the East

Seeing this, Chu Jiang made a decisive decision: "Then I will leave here first. As long as I send the Two Realms Bell out, no matter how many tricks Slender Ghost has, it will be useless."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy to leave..." Chen Yehua's words were cut off when his satellite phone emitted a buzzing sound.

Chu Jiang didn't care. He stopped trying to go deeper into the Ghost Realm and retreated layer by layer.

But a strange thing happened: Chu Jiang retreated eleven levels in a row, yet he couldn't escape this ghostly realm. It was as if the Slender Man had woven an extra zero layer, a negative one layer, a negative two layer...

Chu Jiang stopped in his tracks, a question forming in his mind: Was he being looked down upon?

Chu Jiang assessed his own abilities and found that Chu Zhan's potential was as unfathomable as ever. Even Expert Chen analyzed that Slender Man was likely unable to defeat Chu Zhan head-on, which was why he chose to resort to underhanded tactics.

In that case, his own tactics should not be so conservative. This is mainly due to Chu Jiang's past "flaw" of being overly cautious. After all, in his mind, a ghost can make countless mistakes and not die, while a person is likely to die if he makes just one mistake.

But now, Chu Jiang himself is the devil, so he can act with more impunity!

Thinking of this, Chu Jiang stopped and withdrew all of his ghostly domain from his body, leaving himself exposed to the ghostly domain of the slender ghost.

Chu Zhan was first plunged into absolute silence, and then, in the midst of the most extreme death, life was born again.

Then Chu Jiang glowed, his whole being like a sun full of boundless vitality, radiating outwards with intense life energy!

This is the power to turn death into life within the ability of "Controlling Life and Death," which Chu Jiang indiscriminately releases outward through the supernatural power of the black sun.

If a living person were to be exposed to this light, they would only feel warmth all over their body and nothing would happen to them; however, everything related to ghosts would be shattered and disintegrated under this power.

The ghostly realm that was originally the slender, eerie figure has teleported to a small island in the Pacific Ocean to continue "awakening" the dead there.

However, at this moment, under Chu Jiang's illumination, the entire Ghost Realm, whether it was the first level or the hundredth level, showed signs of instability and collapse.

So the Slender Man had to stop his work, and the ghost realm seemed to vanish in an instant, along with the vengeful spirits of the dead.

Chu Jiang was stunned for a moment, because he could sense that the ghost domain had not actually disappeared, but the Slender Ghost had expanded it infinitely!

It should be noted that the Ghost Domain itself is the limit of its size, but how abnormal is this ghostly figure? At this moment, it has enveloped the entire world in its Ghost Domain!

Therefore, the Ghost Realm has only been diluted to the point of being invisible, which does not mean that it has disappeared.

For Chu Jiang to destroy this ghost realm, the light emanating from his body must spread across the globe, covering at least half of the area.

This made Chu Jiang shake his head, and he muttered to himself, "Do you really think I can't do it?"

Chu Jiang pointed his right hand to the sky, declaring that it was now night.

In less than a breath, the entire world simultaneously entered night! Regardless of region, latitude, or hemisphere.

This caused panic among those who were originally in the daytime.

Meanwhile, official agencies in various countries are also in a state of panic. Such a large-scale and unusual change has not only caused police in various places to be overwhelmed with calls, but also means that the possibility of continuing to hide it from the public is zero.

Then Chu Jiang ascended into the sky, broke through the atmosphere, and entered a satellite orbit in space...

As darkness fell over the world, people instinctively looked up at the sky, and within seconds, they saw the sun rising in the east!

You could also call it the moon, because its light is so gentle, without the heat of the sun, that it makes people feel a sense of tranquility.

Under the influence of this power, all forces originating from death around the world, whether ghosts or ghost masters, felt a certain sense of oppression for a time.

However, the Ghost Shadow Realm, which was deliberately targeted by Chu Jiang, was not just a little oppressive.

When the white sun had circled the globe, the Ghost Realm completely collapsed.

However, at the same time, countless pale-faced, ghost-like figures appeared all over the world!

This sparked a new wave of panic. Fortunately, the ghosts did not attack ordinary people; they simply opened their eyes at the same time.

These deceased individuals share a common characteristic: they once existed in this world; and now, they do indeed carry some of the aura they possessed in their previous lives.

The moment they opened their eyes, a clear ringing sound echoed throughout the world!

In that instant, everyone, human and ghost alike, heard the bell; this left many utterly bewildered: what was happening to the world? Was humanity truly doomed?

Chu Jiang had no choice but to return from outer space to Earth's atmosphere because the Two Realms Bell flew back on its own!

Slender Man seemed to have truly figured out some mechanism of the Bell of Two Realms, and actually activated it out of thin air.

The Two Realms Bell now mistakenly believes that these countless dead are living people who have mistakenly entered the "underworld" and wants to send them back to the "world of the living," which is the real world.
